The Dua of a Fasting Person
Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “There are three people whose duas are not rejected; the fasting person until he breaks his fast, the just ruler, and the dua of the oppressed which Allah Ta‘ala lifts above the clouds and for which He opens the doors of the heavens. Allah Ta‘ala says, ‘I take a qasm on My honour, I will definitely assist you, even though it may be after some time.’” [3]
Fasting in the Month of Ramadhaan Expiates Sins
Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The person who fasts in the month of Ramadhaan solely for the pleasure of Allah Ta‘ala and for gaining His reward, all his past (minor) sins will be forgiven.” [4]
The One who Fasts in the Month of Ramadhaan becomes Pure from Sins like the Day his Mother gave Birth to him
Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “This is a month in which Allah Ta‘ala has made fasting compulsory upon you, and I have made the Taraaweeh Salaah sunnah for you. The one who fasts (during this month) and stands in Taraaweeh Salaah with Imaan and the hope of attaining reward, he will be purified from his (minor) sins like the day his mother gave birth to him.” [5]
